  • Huanyu Lion Head Make Tips

    Poetic Heart Phrases: 1: When cutting jade tofu, you should gently and be careful to break it. It will be unsightly. 2: When chopping meat, first chop the lean meat to a satisfactory level of 6 or 7 points, and then add lotus puppets and chop it together with the fat meat. This will make the taste more crunchy. If you let the fat meat and chop it together at the beginning, you will cut the fat meat into oil. 3: When making the lion's head, apply a thin layer of oil to your hands so that the meat paste does not stick to your hands. Moreover, when playing the lion's head, because it is slightly larger than the usual lion's head, you have to hold the meat paste in your left hand and use a kitchen knife to scrape the meat paste in your right hand to shape the shape. 4: I left some meat meat to make dumplings, so I need more meat. If I only need to make such a dish, 100 grams of meat will be almost enough. 5: There won't be too much soup to steam out, so after pouring it into the pot, add a little water and starch first, and then open fire. If you want to boil the soup first and then thicken it, wait until the soup is boiled, basically it is dried.
